D G
D/F# Em7 D G D
It was said this Man was of no reputation
F#m G
Yet he could stop the rising storm
F#m Asus A
With a gesture of his hand
D G D
But he chose to use his hands to heal
A/C# Bm A G D/F# Am
G F#
Hearts of darkness, hearts of stone
Em D G D
Just like mine, would be revealed
A7sus A7 D D/E
He was a Man of no reputation
Dmaj7/F# Gmaj7
And by the wise, considered a fool
D G/D
When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
Asus A
In a time when the strongest arms ruled
G D
But this Man of no reputation
Bm A G D/F#
Loved the weak with relentless affection
D/E Dmaj7/F# Gmaj7
And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
Asus A D G/D
He was a man of no reputation
D A7sus D G
It was said this Man brought only confusion
That He'd achieve His ends by any means
That the truth would bring revolution
And for once they were right
The truth set us free
The hearts of the captive were His only concern
And the powerful knew their days were ending
He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
Where he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled
But this man of no reputation
Loved the weak with relentless affection
And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
He was a man of no reputation
F2 Em7 D
A7
One day soon the gates of Heaven will open wide
F#2 Em7 Asus A
And the Prince of Peace will come back for His bride
D
But for now we live on these streets
G/D D
Forbidding and tough
F#m7 G2
Where push always comes to shove
Fmaj7 Asus A
And it's said love's never enough
D G D A/C#
Where a prophet in rags gives hope to a fearful world
Bm A G D/F# Am G
Em
No injustice, no heart of darkness
D G D
Will keep this voice from being heard
He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled
G D/F#
But this man of no reputation
Bm A G Dmaj7/F#
Loves us all with relentless affection
D/E Dmaj7/F# Gmaj7
And he loves all us poor in spirit, come as you are

To the Man of no reputation
